| alvis | I am unavailable for #ps today: 11/22/11. (Traveling to Ft. Worth, TX) | 18:56 | |
| What I did: | |||
| * Moved 'docs/' to github pages | |||
| * Posted blog about the above | |||
| * Mailed parrot-dev, asking for input on organization of Developer & User Manuals | |||
| * Signed up as GCI mentor (I think/hope/perhaps) | 18:57 | ||
| * Gist of GCI Tasks | |||
| * Diff'd of Squaak Tutorial and PCT_Tutorial to see which is newer | |||
| What I'm working on: | |||
| * Templates/formats for READMEs and *.pods for binaries (GCI related) | |||
| * Continued revision of './README' (converting to '*.pod', plus corrections) | |||
| * Reviewing procedure to automate conversion of docs for release cycles | |||
| * Reviewing 'tools/dev/make_html_docs.pl' for updates | 18:58 | ||
| What I will do: | |||
| * Complete 'working on' items above | |||
| * Complete *.pod file for the parrot binary | |||
| * Add a section to 'index.html' about languages, i.e., winxed and nqp-rx | |||
| EOR | |||

| whiteknight | WHAT I DID: | 19:35 | |
| * GCI is off to a great start already. I've been creating tasks as quickly as I can think of them. We have 28 tasks in the queue right now, I'm hoping to have at least 50 in the queue before the deadline on the 28th. | |||
| * Most tasks so far are Rosella-related or Documentation-related (alvis++ for enumerating these for me). We want more tasks from more parts of the ecosystem. Any ideas, any at all, are appreciated. | |||
| * I rewrote the Rosella Event library, with support for new green threads. | |||
| * I finished a rewrite of the Rosella Container library to add lots of new features and cleaner code. | |||
| * Following along with NotFound++'s work to add inlining to Winxed. Very excited about that. | |||
| * Still working to port alarms to Windows to add green_threads there. If anybody has access to a windows development machine and would like to be frustrated by this problem, let me know. | |||
| WHAT I WILL DO: | |||
| * Fill out more GCI tasks. I'll be mining Rosella, Jaesop and Winxed for ideas. I'll also be digging through the Parrot repo and ticket queues for more ideas. | |||
| * Work on some documentation and code examples needed for GCI students to follow. | |||
| * Keep working on porting alarms to windows. | |||
| * More miscellaneous Rosella work. | |||

| cotto | hello | 19:45 | |
| NotFound | HOla | 19:46 | |
| whiteknight | hello | 19:47 | |

| dukeleto | hello? | 19:48 | |
| whiteknight | hello! | ||
| dukeleto | is this on? | ||
| NotFound | Forgot the report, will do after. | ||
| cotto | How did this week go? | 19:49 | |
| whiteknight | good. GCI is off to a good start | ||
| a little bumpy, but google extended the initial task deadline and we're moving forward pretty quick | |||
| dukeleto | yes, we have a bunch of gci tasks being worked on. whiteknight++ for adding lots more | ||
| cotto | We can expect it to be pretty experimental. | ||
| NotFound | They already helped locate two winxed bugs. | 19:50 | |
| cotto | It's great to see some old faces. | ||
| or nicks, as it were | |||
| whiteknight | We have a Timsort implementation in winxed that I want to start playing with | ||
| cotto | Tim would be proud. | ||
| whiteknight | I've been wanting an implementation of that for a while, and Yuki'N whips it out in a few hours | 19:51 | |
| So things are going very well | 19:53 | ||
| NotFound | Possible interesting for people making public presentations of parrot: I've added a bit more visual candy to examples/fly | 19:55 | |
| whiteknight | NotFound: Yes, I've seen your commits. I need to test it | ||
| NotFound | The changes are subtle, but effective. | 19:56 | |
| cotto | NotFound: good marketing. | ||
| whiteknight | I probably need to reinstall opengl | ||
| NotFound | Also, now uses a real derivative, so mathematics will be less ofended. | 19:57 | |
| dukeleto | NotFound++ | 19:58 | |
| NotFound: forward, central, or backward difference ? | 19:59 | ||
| NotFound: or are you doing the derivative analytically? | |||
| whiteknight | well look at you, mr math man with your fancy terms and learnin' | 20:01 | |
| NotFound | dukeleto: the angle of the wagons is the tangent to the circuit. Previously I used a horrible approximation, now the derivative of the parametric curve. | ||
| Not calculated by the program, hand written in the code. | 20:02 | ||
| Funny fact: I was doing it that way because I wasn't able to fix the problems with the derivative. Now I discovered that the problem was in the web site I used to calculate it. | 20:04 | ||
| Yes, my bad for being lazy. | 20:05 | ||
| whiteknight | websites-- | ||
| NotFound | You can also have fun looking at the trick used to keep constant the distance between wagons in spite of the varying radius of the circuit. | 20:08 | |
| cotto | Are there any questions? | 20:12 | |
| whiteknight | not a question, more of a plea: We need lots more tasks for GCI | ||
| if anybody has any ideas, even bad ideas, tell me | 20:13 | ||
| dukeleto | i have lots of bad ideas | ||
| cotto | seatbelts for squids | ||
| I'll try to find some less bad ideas too. | 20:14 | ||
| whiteknight | awesome. The more the merrier | ||
| What I don't want to have happen is the last few weeks of the program we have to sit on our hands because we've been cleaned out | |||
| that would be a huge waste of resources | 20:15 | ||
| but, that's it from me. | 20:18 | ||
